I LOVE… LOVE… LOVE that Patty Loveless, Kathy Mattea, Trisha, and Randy Travis are rightfully recognized.
I also love that “Last Call” is given a nod. That is by far one of the few truly “country” songs to come out in a loooong time!

The narrow-mindedness of the CMA’s and ACM’s are always such an embarassment.

I would have liked to have seen Miranda on there somewhere- but the 5 ladies nominated for female vocalist are deserving.

Taylor’s performance was dreadful, that is for sure. I have no idea what the grammy producers were thinking asking her to sing that Brenda Lee song. It was beyond embarassing to country music.

I love Patty but not the duet with George, not really a Strait fan! But like I said really excited for Trisha!

If artists are nominated in multiple genres, as Plant/Krauss are in the collaboration categories, winning both is highly unusual. Yearwood & Urban are Grammy faves, and Strait & Loveless seem to have strong support, so that category is tough. I know Krauss will win something, but I hope that Johnson, Strait, Yearwood and Loveless can all come home with a trophy.

I know I’m in the minority and I love Alison, but I didn’t like the album with Robert Plant.

I’m pleaseantly surprised by some of the country nominees. And much happier than with the CMAs or ACMS.

The Grammy’s are known for usually picking music over popularity, hense no Taylor (thank you). Martina out Miranda in I really thought this would be a year of a little more Miranda. Glad to see Leann Rimes back in the mix, she would be a satisfying win. Don’t think Carrie’s Last Name will cut it, had it been Just A Dream it would have been a lock especially after the CMA performance. I do enjoy Allison but I think the two together got more than they desereved just not a huge fan of that colaboration, but good luck to them. Again so glad to see all the veterans back in action.
